Purchasing

A professional web header for the Citrus County Schools Purchasing department. The left side features a navy blue background with the department name "PURCHASING" in large white capital letters and the district's circular logo above it. To the right, set against a blurred warehouse/loading dock background, are three orange and navy icons with labels: "Competitive Procurement" (a hand placing a coin in a box), "Vendor Compliance (JLA)" (a barcode and fingerprint scan), and "Resource Allocation" (an open shipping box with an arrow).
